So, I just thought I’d pop in here super quick with an update on how my job search with Remote Rocketship went. I mentioned in a prior post that somehow, possibly while surfing LinkedIn, I came upon their remote jobs app, and thought I’d try it out. At just $21 per month (I think?), it seemed like a reasonable investment, with the ability to cancel at any time if it didn’t yield for me, or if I didn’t happen to find the app useful *but I did.
I did find Remote Rocketship useful
I was able to do a quick install of the Remote Rocketship app on my phone, sign up with email, and get a job search going in just a few minutes. The whole password thing wasn’t that big of an issue, compared to what I sometimes go through with other sites (SendGrid comes to mind… horrible login problems over there).
At first I checked off as many job search keywords as possible. But I quickly found myself overwhelmed with too many job listings that didn’t apply to what I do for a living (which is copywriting and content writing).
So then I narrowed down the search to just one of my chosen keyword phrases, and was able to find a good selection of content writing jobs that met my qualifications and experience.

One by one, I applied right on the Remote Rocketship site. Their process went as follows:
- Click on the job title to learn more about the company and the posted role.
- Follow the instructions for applying.
- Upload your resume.
- Add your cover letter
- Respond to any included questions.
- Click SEND.

Other jobs on Remote Rocketship will have you filling out the application form directly from the app. You can upload your resume from your phone, add a cover letter, and then hit Submit.
About a week went by, and I didn’t receive any emails regarding the five or so jobs that I applied to.

Today, I got a rejection email from one of them. Success!! (I guess).
At least now I know that the jobs on Remote Rocketship are legit. The work they’re posting roles for seems to be from decent companies. Their main brag is that a lot of the jobs they share in their aggregate feed do not come from LinkedIn or Indeed. I think we are all fed up with the spam and fake job postings coming from those. It’s actually a little scary, honestly.
Should you wait for a blue moon to apply to Remote Rocketship? No, you should try their job search right away.
I say this because I know how grassroots efforts go. There will be a point where this rocketship blasts off. No kidding.
Momentum is building now, but they haven’t hit their peak yet I don’t think. With so many positive reviews on the site, though, I can see that they’re on the way!
Don’t believe me that this is a grassroots upstart with an actual, real guy running the show?
Here’s Lior, Remote Rocketship’s creator. Cool guy!
